Care Inspectorate Wales

Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) is the regulatory body responsible for inspecting and monitoring care services in Wales, such as adult and child care providers, social services, and health facilities. Its goal is to ensure these services maintain high standards, protect individuals’ rights, and promote well-being. CIW sets legal requirements, conducts regular inspections, and reports on service quality. By doing so, it helps ensure that people receiving care and support in Wales are safe, valued, and receive appropriate, quality care.
